I ain't no real guru either, but inductance in the plane should
increase as one moves toward the edge just from an intuitive
point of view. and should just about double at the edge when
compared to the middle. This in fact is the case by some studies
done at Curtis-Straus labs im Mass. Written up in their monthly
newsletter a while back. And if I find it, I will post it.
